Arden's 10th Anniversary JDRF Walk
Arden was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes just after her second birthday in August of 2006. That October we participated in our first JDRF Walk.
First Walk 2006, Age 2
Yesterday we walked for the tenth consecutive year...
Arden designed her own walk shirt this year to mimic a softball t-shirt. Big thank you to OmniPod for being cool with us using their Podder logo to make the shirt. It was a great day, the weather was perfect and a ton of Arden's friends and teammates came along in support.
i'm trying to decide what to do with the extra shirts...

News: U.K. Airline Pilots Fit to Fly With Type 1 Diabetes
from MedPage - Ed Susman, Contributing Writer, MedPage Today
MUNICH – Commercial airline pilots flying withinsulin-controlled diabetes had no incidents of medical incapacitation in more than 18 months of study, researchers reported here.
Of the 26 insulin-treated pilots flying planes under the U.K. flag, a total of 8,897 blood glucose monitoring values had been recorded during 4,900 flight hours with more than 96% of the cockpit glucose monitoring readings indicating pilots with diabetes were in the "Green Zone" for safety, reported Julia Hine, MD, of the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford, England.
In a presentation at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, Hine said that for short and medium haul flights -- those of less than 6 hours duration -- 96% of 7,829 blood glucose monitoring readings were within the safe range. For long haul flights, 97% of 1,068 readings were within that "green" range.
